Here's a bunch of tiny mushrooms I've found over the last several months. I tried to keep the images as big as possible (both resolution and with minimum jpeggery, and without using up all my shroomery space) for your viewing pleasure! :smile: This is mostly to show off but I'd love better IDs if possible.


1. Marasmius sp. This is the first species I found that was so small, and since then I've found them everywhere in my regular hunting spot. It's funny cause I've been through this olive grove hunting mushrooms at least 13 times before I noticed them. :facepalm3:

I find them exclusively on the olive leaves, but pretty much anywhere that there's litter on the ground. All you have to do is brush away the top layer of "fresh" leaves and if it's damp underneath, you'll find them.

I left this pic (and a few more I've noted) at full resolution, so make sure you zoom in! I zoomed the second one for you so you can see the water drops balancing on the caps. I didn't even notice when I took it. :lol:


This one is cool cause that piece of moss (or whatever plant) was growing on the leaf with the shrooms.


Because they grow everywhere, I find them next to many other mushrooms. I think that's a Mycena. It had white gills and fuzzy mycelium at the base. If anyone cares I have more pics of it.


Snow! Actually those are spores from the Lepista nuda they were growing under. :cool:


Some random shots.






2. I've found these little guys all over, from olive leaves, bark, dirt, and under Eucalyptus. I'm not sure if they're all the same. They are about the same size as the Marasmius, but have thicker stipes, and are more fragile.

These next two pics were taken at different times, and before I figured out how to do it better.


The best find of these was after I turned over a piece of bark.


I like how the little ones often get water hats. :lol:




3. Mycena sp. Those are Eucalyptus leaves which are only about an inch across.




4. Bisporella citrina (I think). First one is full res.




5. Lichen. No idea what it is, but I love the colors. Full res.




6. No idea, and I can't believe I saw this. I was digging through Eucalyptus litter to get to this red Mycena when I found this and the next practically microscopic finds. The round heads are only about 1.5mm. First pic is full res.




7. This was another one I had to dig for, but they were pretty easy to see. As miniscule as they are, they were easy to find because they stood out against the rest of the black decaying plant matter and dirt.
full res


Here's a couple to give you some scale. Next to my #4.


Next to a Mycena acicula (I'm pretty sure, either way I have more pics I'll post with my other reqeusts) and something else. full res


On top of some pink mushroom, that I also plan on posting more of later. It had a cap about 2.5cm across, and also crazy gills, which I feel I have to include after mentioning. I'm trying to not stray from my theme too much. :smile:




8. A cup. The second pic is after it dried up. They are mostly 2-4mm




9. No idea, but it had strange colors so I was curious what it was. I'm not expecting much though.

Your first Marasmius look like Marasmiues androsaceus, but that's a guess.
These look like Hemimycena.  Also just a guess.

If you are into learning about lichen http://mushroomobserver.org/ is an excellent site  with many, many records of lichen from all over the world.

Agree with Mycena acicula.

Mycena pura

Looks like mold or dog poo mold :shrug: good thing you weren't expecting great things.

Great pictures.

Some of those are absolutely tiny and so beautiful :congrats:. I'm getting the urge to run out and buy a camera so I can spend an entire day photographing miniscule mushrooms.

That is a great idea, and I've already done it a bit actually. :smile: I've been registered there for awhile, but haven't got around to uploading anything yet. I just got lightroom set-up and I'm getting all the pictures I've taken organized, but I plan on posting them all on MO too.

Do it! It's tricky getting them in focus, but that's part of the fun. :super:

Thanks for IDs and the kind words. :laugh:


Edit: I looked into it and I think 6 is a Physarum sp. I didn't realize the variety of slime molds, but this gallery opened my eyes.

Also, I don't think I have Marasmius androsaceus. The coloring doesn't seem right, although mine does seem to match the rogersmushrooms macro description. All the ones I find are orange to red, but in the pics I see lots of pale colors on that species. Maybe it's just substrate variation. :shrug:

I've already tried going through the mushroomexpert key to Marasmius but that didn't get me anywhere. Then I checked every species with a description and I couldn't find a match either. Marasmius androsaceus is the best guess so far though, even though it's supposed to grow on debris of conifers and not hardwoods.

Here's a different key.  Mushroom Expert is great, but it doesn't cover everything.
